22 December 2019
Anthony had always protested his innocence and kept fighting over the years, he was found dead in his cell just three days before Christmas.
The press release (below) from the Ministry of Justice is bland and does not tally with the phone calls MOJUK has had from prisoners in HMP Kingston, who more than suspect that prison negligence, contributed to Anthony’s death.
